Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Mo saw Mr. Wu coming out of the school.
He clasped his fists towards Mr. Wu and said, "It's Mr. Wu. How come you are in this village too?"
Mr. Wu squinted at him for a while before recognizing that the man in front of him was Xiao Mo, the grandson of Grand Tutor Xiao. "So it's Master Xiao, why are you here?"
Xiao Mo answered truthfully: "I came here to ask Doctor Yingbao to make medicine."
Mr. Wu nodded, and just as he turned to leave, he suddenly asked, "Didn't Mr. Xiao go to quell the rebellion? How come you have time to come back?"
"The bandits have been wiped out, but the border is in danger, so I came here to prepare some medicine to take away."
Mr. Wu stroked his beard and said, "I see."
He originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but he had to go to the toilet first because he was in a hurry, so he bowed to Xiao Mo, said goodbye and left.
At this time, several young men ran out from the school, one of whom was Wei Zhan.
Wei Zhan saw Xiao Mo's eyes light up, and he quickly ran over, grabbed his sleeve and shouted, "Brother Xiao, why are you here?"
Xiao Mo brushed his hand away, straightened his sleeves and said, "I'm here for something important. I haven't asked you why you're in the village too."
Wei Zhan said proudly: "I am attending school here."
He not only studied literature, but also practiced martial arts with Hu Zi, Jiang Wu, Zhang Min and others. Now, he can knock down three people by himself.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhan suddenly attacked Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo reacted quickly as well, subduing him in almost one move.
Wei Zhan was shocked: "Why are you so good? No! I want to do it again!"
In this way, Wei Zhan and Xiao Mo fought back and forth no less than ten times, and finally, Wei Zhan was defeated by two moves instead of one.
"Okay, play by yourself." Xiao Mo patted his sleeves, turned around and left.
Wei Zhan was very depressed.
I have been learning for so long, but I can't even beat Xiao Mo with two moves. This is too lame.
Hu Zi and Jiang Wu came over, staring at the armor on the cavalrymen with envy and said, "They are so impressive. I want to ride a horse and wear armor on the battlefield in the future."
"Come on!" Jiang Wu said, "My sister said that we practice martial arts to strengthen our bodies and protect our parents and family. If we all go to the battlefield, who will protect them?"
Wei Zhan:...
He actually thought it made sense.
No, everything Yingbao said seemed to make sense.
Hu Zi disagreed: "But if the Jurchens come to attack us, and we don't go to the battlefield, won't they come to our house to attack us?"
A few friends:······
Well, it seems like everyone is right.
"Seventh Young Master, I finally found you." Chen Fengshi walked over quickly, holding a food box with a lid in her hand.
She stuffed the food box into Wei Zhan's hand and said with a smile, "This is the mutton buns I made. They are just out of the pot. Try them quickly."
Wei Zhan pushed the food box back and said righteously, "Thank you, Granny Chen. I, I don't like mutton buns. You should take it back."
Chen Feng sighed, held the food box in her arms, and asked softly, "What does the Seventh Young Master like to eat? I'll make it when I have time."
"Don't worry, I usually eat at Jiang Wu's house. He has everything he needs." Wei Zhan tried his best to suppress his impatience and said, "I'm leaving." Then he turned and ran away.
Hu Zi and Jiang Wu also ran away, leaving Zhang Min alone.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Min immediately ran away.
When Chen Feng saw that all the young men had left, she sighed and turned to go home.
Neither of her own granddaughters has said anything about him. Chen Wan is fourteen years old this year, and Chen Zhao is twelve years old. Originally, Master Wei Qi was the first choice, but since she learned about the secret, she can only sigh in despair.
But Young Master Wei Qi is, after all, the master's legitimate son, and is also my junior. He is also studying here alone, so it is only right for me to be nice to him.
But Wei Zhan didn't seem to think much of the Chen family and didn't appreciate her kindness.
Oh, forget it. I have done what I should do. If the master asks, I can handle it.
Two days later, Yingbao finally finished boiling all the medicines and wrapped them one by one in wax shells.
Xiao Mo took the pills and powder and tested them first. Seeing that the efficacy was similar to the previous times, he readily paid the money and left with a group of people.
Yingbao earned several hundred taels of silver and happily took out ten taels of silver to treat her family to a big meal.
During the meal, Yan Ru felt nauseous repeatedly, especially when she smelled roasted lamb, she covered her nose and ran out of the house.
Jiang Liu turned around and asked her second son, "Could Yan Ru be pregnant?"
Jiang Erlang was also very surprised. He put down his wine cup and went to see his wife: "I'll go take a look."
When he reached the door, he turned back and called Yingbao: "Yingbao, come and help your second aunt feel her pulse."
Yingbao responded and ran back to the house and picked up the small medicine box.
When I arrived at my second uncle's house, my second uncle's mother, Yan Ru, was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
Jiang Erlang gently stroked his wife's chest and asked her again and again what was wrong.
Yan Ru patted her husband's hand and said, "It's okay. Maybe I've been drinking cold water these days and my stomach is uncomfortable."
Jiang Erlang said with a smile, "Why do I look like I'm pregnant? Yingbao is here, so stretch out your hand and let Yingbao feel your pulse."
Yan Ru nodded and showed her wrist.
Yingbao first felt her pulse, then listened to her belly with a stethoscope, and then confirmed: "Second Aunt is indeed pregnant."
Jiang Erlang was so happy that he asked quickly, "Is your second aunt pregnant with a single baby or twins?"
Yingbao: "Single fetus, about four months old."
Yan Ru covered her face and started crying when she heard this.
She finally got pregnant.
It is no longer the hen that doesn’t lay eggs as people say.
In order to avoid listening to rumors, I basically stayed at home and didn't dare to chat with the young wives in the village.
Now, she can finally go out for a stroll openly and do laundry and vegetables without having to hide from the women in the village.
Seeing his wife crying, Jiang Erlang quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid. It's true that pregnancy is a little uncomfortable in the early stages, but it will be fine later. What do you want to eat? I'll go get it for you."
Yan Ru wiped her tears and chuckled, "I've been craving for apricots these past few days."
"Okay, I'll pick them right away." Jiang Erlang happily ran to the orchard to pick apricots.
Yingbao packed up the medicine box, not knowing what to say.
Although she was able to find out that her second aunt was pregnant, she had only a vague understanding of women's pregnancy and childbirth.
"Second aunt, why don't you ask Second Uncle to go to town and ask Dr. Zhang to take a look." Ying Bao said seriously, "I don't know much about pregnancy and childbirth. I can only roughly estimate the month. It would be terrible if I make a wrong diagnosis."
Yan Ru nodded: "Okay, I'll tell your second uncle when he comes back."
In fact, Yan Ru was also very nervous. She had finally gotten pregnant and was afraid that she would miscarry the baby due to negligence.
When Jiang Erlang came back with a bunch of bright yellow apricots, Yan Ru told him what her niece had said: "Bao'er said she doesn't know much about pregnancy and childbirth, so she asked you to go to town and ask Dr. Zhang to take a look."
Jiang Erlang naturally had no objection, and immediately harnessed the carriage and rushed to the town.
When we arrived at Chuanhe Town, we came across a number of carriages, including horse-drawn, mule-drawn and donkey-drawn carts. Many of them were stopping in the town to replenish their food and water.
After asking, I found out that they had escaped from the capital.
